Manchester United has reportedly targeted Lyon defender Aly Cissokho as the long-term replacement for current first-choice left-back Patrice Evra.
Evra has been a mainstay in the United line-up since moving from Monaco in 2006 but, at 30 years of age, his future at Old Trafford is not a long one.
And according to footybunker.com, United are considering a move for Cissokho next summer as his long-term successor.
The 24-year-old full-back was heavily linked with Arsenal and Liverpool during the summer with both clubs eager to fill the left-back slot.
However, both sides were reportedly put off by Lyon's asking price - thought to be in the region of £17m - so decided on other options.
Cissokho has established himself as one of the most highly-rated defenders in Ligue 1 since moving to Lyon in 2009.
